Hi everyone,
I have been trying to make a bead to hold a wick in the top of a small
perfume bottle. I made and bisqued a bead, bought an actual wick at a
candle store, and used lamp oil, but the flame will not stay lit. What
am I doing or not doing? Please help.

Maybe the hole in the bead is too small and won't allow the wick to draw
the fuel up fast enough.
